Prodcut Description: [More Information ...] This is the only Howard Jones album you'll ever need. HoJo was a founder of early '80s synth-pop, which was as easy to sing to as it was to dance to. The rhythms on this record pop like new wave corn kernels in heated oil, tempered by Jones's high-strung vocals extending over the top. Jones makes good use of the bright synth piano patches available during that time, especially during "Things Can Only Get Better." "No One Is to Blame" is a solid ballad, just Jones and his keyboard. It's heartfelt and regretful--a little cheesy, but in a good way. --Beth Bessmer

Flashback Great cd. It captures the 80s generation totally! "I'd like to get to know you well" is one of my favorite songs and can be found in "Better Off Dead".

WOULD BUY FROM AMAZON AND THIS SELLER AGAIN, PRICE EXCELLENT AND THE SPEEDY DELIVERY WONDERFUL TOO. THE COMPILATION OF THIS ALBUM WAS SOOO GOOD, SONG AFTER SONG...MADE YOU JUST SING ALONG
GREAT BUY Good collection To be honest, I was only familiar with a couple of Howard's songs, but I thoroughly enjoyed this album, including his version of Steely Dan's "What a Beautiful World." Yay, Howard! Great CD Bought this for my husband, great CD, lots of great songs from the 80's. It is the best of HO JO! The Best of Howard Jones Good Synth-Pop from England in the guise of Howard Jones. My favorites on this collection: "What is Love," "Things can only get better," and "City Song." Five stars for this collection! |
